AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #564
It's a good old fashioned He Said/He Said/He Said when Spidey, Vin Gonzales and SWING SHIFT Heavy OVERDRIVE find themselves in a car chase across the Big Apple! Three members of our Braintrust's best give you each side of the same story, as Gale, Guggenheim and Slott team up for “TRAFFIC JAM!”
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #565

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #566

For the thirteen-year-old. (And, apparently, a solicitation that never made it to final edit?)
AVENGERS/INVADERS #3 (of 12)
The King of Atlantis vs the Prince of Atlantis with an entire kingdom as the ultimate prize. Alex Ross, Jim Krueger and Steve Sadowski continue the year’s most surprising cross-time epic with a battle that promises to tear two centuries asunder. Plus, more clues to the mystery of just how the Invaders landed in 2008!
Namor vs. Namor is one of the things I've most been looking forward to in this series, so yes, you could say I'm happy to see this. :)
CAPTAIN AMERICA #40
It's Cap versus Cap for the future of the American Dream as the Red Skull looks on in laughter! And Bucky learns the true identity of the man behind the other mask! The epic Death of Captain America continues in Part Four of "The Man Who Bought America" by the acclaimed team of Brubaker and Epting.
Looks good, as always.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: WHITE #0
CAPTAIN AMERICA: WHITE is their newest creation, peeling back an untold tale of Captain America and Bucky during World War II. Their unique combination of in-depth characters and high stakes action shines here with Cap's deadliest mission of all. Marvel is proud to bring you Captain America: #0 this summer as a taste of what’s to come. Featuring an all new full story about the Origin of Bucky Barnes and how he came into Cap’s life, this special edition features a cover gallery, sketchbook, script samples, and an interview with the creators. They are happy to be back at Marvel and we're thrilled to have them! Plus, the whole story seen in black-and-white.
This could be awesomely good, but I'll hold off judgment until I've got it in hand.
THE LAST DEFENDERS #5 (of 6)
It's finally come down to this -- literally the last Defender standing, as Kyle Richmond goes head-to-head with his past, his present AND his future...! And Yandroth is right there to exploit all three of them! And...at long last: Dr. Strange! The Hulk! Namor, the Sub-Mariner! Together again...for the first time! Plus, the Squadron Sinister! All this...and a last page that will leave you shell-shocked!
It still looks all right, and I'm hardly likely to quit a mini before it's done.
MARVEL ADVENTURES THE AVENGERS #26
It's the bottom of the ninth, the Avengers are down by two, two strikes down and bases loaded. The stakes for the Cosmic Pennant have never been higher. How will Galactus call this one? Okay... we admit. We have no idea what's going on in this story. Kirk drew the cover, and now Parker has to come up with something. THAT'S GOOD COMICS!!!
For the nine-year-old, but we all read it. :)
MOON KNIGHT #20
Special extra-sized issue illustrated by Mike Deodato (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, NEW AVENGERS) and guest-starring Werewolf By Night! In the aftermath of the Black Spectre debacle, Moon Knight is Public Enemy Number One, a fugitive from justice. But that’s not his only problem. Something awful is happening in the dank basement below Club Lu’Pine. Blood-smeared walls raked by claws tell half the story. To know the whole truth, Moon Knight will have to step into the arena and stare down a creature fueled by instinct and fury. To survive, he must become what he faces.
Well...I'm thinking the book is probably all right and I'll be getting it, but if I weren't a regular reader this sure wouldn't get me to buy it. "To survive, he must become what he faces"? Doesn't that sort of thing only really work with a protaganist who isn't already working the creepy angle?
PATSY WALKER: HELLCAT, AGENT OF THE INITIATIVE #1 (of 5)
Patsy Walker, S.H.I.E.L.D. wants YOU to join the Initiative…and protect the frozen north. You heard me right, sister. The Klondike. Seward’s Folly. Alaska. So pack some long johns and prepare for trouble. GUEST-STARRING: IRON MAN!
Hellcat was an Avenger during one of my favorite Avenging eras, so this is a must.
SECRET INVASION #4 (of 8)
The world has turned upside down! The Skrulls have taken the Earth as part of their empire, the Avengers and Initiative are scattered...but there are two people who want some answers. One has a hammer and one has a shield.
There are Young Avengers on this cover!
MIGHTY AVENGERS #16
SECRET INVASION TIE-IN!
ELEKTRA IS A SKRULL!! Words that have echoed through Marvel Comics for the last two years. But how did this happen and for how long has this been true? THE ANSWER IS HERE! Hint! She went down swinging. Plus the answer to the biggest question in modern Avengers history...
I don't think I quite needed the "Secret Invasion Tie-In" blurb on this one...
NEW AVENGERS #43
SPIDER-MAN VERSUS CAPTAIN AMERICA IN THE JUNGLES OF THE SAVAGE LAND! But who is who and what is what?? At least one of these people isn't who they say they are. Plus a huge chapter in the Secret Invasion story as more information as to how the Skrulls set their major plans in motion is revealed...
Meh. Looks readable.
AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #15
With the NEW AVENGERS and the MIGHTY AVENGERS trapped in the Savage Land, it's up to the AVENGERS INITIATIVE to face off against the first major strike of the Skrull Invasion! There, on the field of battle, the cadet with the biggest secret has to choose how red (or green) his blood really is. Heroes will fall. Heroes will die. And one shall rise. All THIS and: A new cowardly low for ANT-MAN! A new danger for WAR MACHINE! And 3-D MAN gains a "killer" new "krew"!
It has Ant-Man, that's all I care about. :still missing Irredeemable:
SECRET INVASION: FRONT LINE #1 (of 5)
As Skrull warships fill the skies, and heroes battle for their very survival in the Savage Land, the citizens of New York struggle to survive the worst day of their lives. Brian Reed (CAPTAIN MARVEL) and Marco Castiello bring you a stunning ground-level look at Secret Invasion!
I'm actually kind of torn on this one, but will probably get it.
SECRET INVASION: RUNAWAYS/YOUNG AVENGERS #2 (of 3)
Things look bleak for the future of the Marvel Universe. Xavin has turned on the Runaways. Hulkling is out of commission. Can the rest of the Runaways and Young Avengers keep it together? Heck, can they survive?
We do pick up just about everything with the Young Avenger in it, so this is on the list.
CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI 13 #3
SECRET INVASION TIE-IN, PART 3 (of 4)
It’s Science Fiction versus Fantasy as the war machines of the unstoppable Skrull army invade the magical realm of Avalon. Can Pete Wisdom and the rest of MI 13 keep the Skrulls from taking control of the world’s magic? Will this be our heroes’ finest hour? Or has the sun finally set on the British Isles? And what is Spitfire doing to that Skrull on the cover?
Well, I've got a few good guesses about Spitfire (having read both a good deal of both the original Invaders and the New Invaders titles).
MS. MARVEL #29
SECRET INVASION continues here! Intergalactic war comes to the streets of Manhattan! As Ms. Marvel stands alone before the Skrull invasion, she must find the warrior within and stop an army of invincible killers!
Collagen much? (Though the lush lips on cover-girl Carol do distract a bit from the rack.) The cover is a different look for this title. The story sounds all right.
SHE-HULK #31
SECRET INVASION tie-in and X-FACTOR crossover issue! It’s double the trouble as our gamma-ray glamazon finds herself on a collision course with the mystery-solving X-Factor and hip-deep in the Skrull infestation! What does She-Hulk’s partner Jazinda – who just happens to be a Skrull – know about the invasion…and is she part of it? And why has writer Peter David pitted the heroes of his two books against one another? All the answers are waiting for you here…and so is an exciting new art team!
I don't mind the Secret Invasion thing (as I'm reading that) but am hoping the X-Factor connection disappears quickly.
YOUNG X-MEN #4
“NEW GENESIS,” part 4 (of 5)
It’s the Young X-Men vs. the Hellfire Club! Will the kids survive? Marc Guggenheim (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, WOLVERINE, Eli Stone) and Yanick Paquette (ULTIMATE X-MEN) pack more surprises than you can handle into this issue. Do not miss this!
Not much to say on this one yet.
INVADERS CLASSIC VOL. 2 TPB
After their first several sagas of success, the Invaders spread across the world to discover new friends and new foes, plus the ever-present question of which is which! Introducing Spitfire! Warrior Woman! The Golem! The Blue Bullet! The Spirit of '76! Agent Axis! Plus: genuine Golden Age villains not seen in decades! Crusaders, Avengers and Destroyers – all for you in '42! Collecting INVADERS #10-21 and ANNUAL #1.
If I was prone to squealing, I would be doing it. :)
This last one is actually a maybe because it's awfully pricey, but I'm at least putting it on my "someday" list.
MARVEL MASTERWORKS: GOLDEN AGE CAPTAIN AMERICA VOL. 2 HC
